Some of the villager interiors are weird... I let Cherry move out yesterday bc she had her default home, so I started looking at which uchi villagers were cute and had nice interiors. What is Pashmina's house?!?! And Mira's?! (Mira is actually at my campsite, but I had her in NL. I can see they totally nerfed her astro house though)

Not to go off topic but I’m 99% sure you can’t sell fake art in NL either? I guess I’d have to get my game and TT to get Redd to be sure but I remember Reese just letting you pay to dispose of it as if it was regular old trash, and when I googled if you could I found people saying the same thing. Still though, that’s better than NH where the only option is to use a trash can item and if you do try to sell it Timmy & Tommy make you reselect every. single. item. which made me so mad when it happened to me.
I agree with you on everything else though, I hate how so many things are restricted to require you to go online to get them, like fruits (I really don’t think you can get them all offline since I’ve seen no evidence of this), color variations, and before Leif, entire flowers. At least in New Leaf going online is free, but now it costs a price that not everybody wants to pay or even can.
Quality wise, “New Leaf” is the better game.

New Horizons added some nice things like terraforming, outside furniture, and of course the great graphics but...yeah, I'm starting to agree with that. Sounds like New Leaf did some things better, and of course came with all of it content included instead of being drip-fed through occasional updates. I didn't play New Leaf much, though. It'd probably be less...worrying to know I could easily change any furniture to any other color instead of New Horizons' "locked color" nonsense where I have to get lucky or do trades to get the exact colors I'm after.
One thing I don't miss from my limited time with New Leaf is that stupid censorship. Innocent word combinations? Can't use those words. I don't miss that stupidity one bit. The "report" feature and warnings are better than silencing the user's desired name choices. If this was a New Leaf rant thread, that's the one thing I'd be mainly ranting about.
Really, I've come to realize that's probably my biggest problem with New Horizons, the arbitrary customization restrictions. Second to that'd possibly be how short conversations are now, though the dumbed down talking is a problem that's been getting worse with every game.

Not necessarily to the game itself but I really really hate how badly the value of NMT have gone up. That’s all that people on discord want. The value of bells too. 40k for a natural garden table DIY? One of the basic tables most people get in the beginning of the game lol. I’ve gotten hybrid flowers for less

I really want to ability to store flowers. I wanna decorate my beaches, but they are filled to the brim with flowers! I don't have to heart to trash my hybrids. I know that a lot of people are struggling with this problem as well, so giving them away, or selling them wouldn't be so successful. Nintendo, give me a greenhouse!

I hate how long you have to run in place to jump over a small body of water. The stepping stones look cute but they are not practical. I also wish you can rotate path designs so they don't take up 4-12 design slots or give us more design slots
All are very good points about “New Horizons.”
I haven’t thought about some of your other points about “New Leaf” in a while.
Here is what I am noticing:
I got “New Leaf,” here in the United States, in August 2013.
(I was playing it all the way through March 2020. You can see the listing, in my signature, of the towns I created. I have others, which were not strong enough, that I did not make public.)
I bought the digital copy of “New Horizons” and started playing it shortly after midnight on its release date March 20, 2020.
Here in late-May 2020, I am ready to put down the game “New Horizons,” and break from it for at least a week, maybe two.
After two months with “New Leaf,” I was not wanting a break.
I’m not disappointed in “New Horizons.”
I’m not satisfied.
@Sharksheep I feel like if you press "A" you can jump quicker, but tilt your stick in the direction you want to move in.

Speaking of things New Leaf did right - the information that came with the insects, fish and fossils you donated was genuinely interesting and could be read anytime.
Yes, New Horizons gave an excellent update to the museum but where's the little information that you can read? Oh, Blathers tells you once when you donate whatever you donate, and it's such riveting information like:
"Scorpions! How scary! They're all venomous but some are deadlier than others."
"This dinosaur? It was kind of like a big turtle that lived X amount of years ago."
This doesn't feel like information Blathers would say, and it's so basic and worthless there's no point in listening to him. This is a downgrade from New Leaf (and probably previous ACs) and it makes Blathers sound stupid.

Here's where I'm at as I've only played New Leaf and New Horizons...New Horizons is the better game and it's the one I've put more hours into. To be frank, I stopped regularly playing New Leaf after the first year. I can see how the things they took out of NH that were in New Leaf is going to leave previous players disappointed (even if the "depth" of the content isn't quite as grand as some players would lead you to believe). This is why I'm hoping they add this stuff back in and soon.
However, foundational New Horizons is an improvement over New Leaf and is why I'm still holding out so much hope for this game. I think a lot of people are misremembering aspects of that older game because they'll complain about something in NH that has been the case for that game as well (and sometimes even for every other animal crossing game). Now did they take as big of a leap forward as they could have? No. This is where I'm disappointed but hoping the updates really smash it out of the park.
I'm hesitant to judge too much of the content of the recent updates because I do feel like they were heavily affected by the pandemic.
My number one complaint right now is I need to see more villager involvement. New Leaf only did this slightly better (because of the events, the villagers feel way less like robots in NH) but it's 2020 and I know NH can go all out. For example, the International Museum Day should have included a tour dialogue with the villagers all in the museum. Simple things like this make memories.
Sorry, I'm not trying to get into multiple arguments but things like this make me a bit screwy. NL had very little dialogue from Blathers in the first place as regards donations; and even still you aren't quite representing what Blathers said correctly. Most of the donations have interesting facts tied to them and NL basically said one or two lines that amounted to the same thing.
I do wish however that when you view the donation it would have additional facts. I agree with you there. Such a simple addition that I don't know why they didn't include.

I think this is mostly because New Leaf was a finished game by the time it was released. New Horizon is not. You could dig up gyroids from the get-go. Events were not locked behind updates. Leif was there from the start (you just had to do get to the point where the Nooks upgrade or maybe I am remember that wrong, but they were already there.)
Same thing with the Roost and any other npc that may be coming back. Oh and Redd/the art. We didn't have to wait two months for him to make his return.
Little things like that can be the difference from having something extra to do with your game from the start to waiting for it for two months.
I was kind of burned out by the game around the time I finished the scripted deserted island story. Other games gave you 5 or so villagers at the start. This right here gives you more interactions with the game. NH just gives you 2 and the 3 you find from island hopping take several days for them all to move and having to furnish their entire house for them to come was less fun and more chore.
Having amiibos take 3 game days to be convinced to move to your island was also a pain. I loved inviting an amiibo in NL and being able to move them in right away.
Yeah Blather's information from NL was a downgrade. It was like 'Oh blank? I remember this when I was a featherless baby, but I digress!' or some crap like that. But Blathers in PG and WW was amazing. He actually told me interesting facts. NH Blathers is a step in the right direction, but some of it is ramblings and I don't like that.
I have none saved so I can't cite it word from word, but it would be like 'Oh this is a clown fish! I wonder if it entertains schools of fish! That's a little Ichthyology joke eh wot!'

This!
there’s a group of maybe 10% of this community that is, I’m sorry but, pure ****.
people having bidding wars over a cat and asking for NMT and bells just to let you on their island.
first of all, where everyone getting these millions of NMT. Don’t tell me you sit at that bloody machine buying them one at a time. No cat is worth that pain.

Think the only think that’s really annoyed me is that Nintendo still think blathers needs to apologise EVERY TIME HES ASLEEP during the day. It’s been god damn 15 years since I first got into AC games with WW. Why do you still need that dialogue all day every day
No one can convince me otherwise that someone hacked a bunch of NMT in via some kind of save editor and distributed them out in bulk and then it just took off from there.
If someone can hack their game to have Timmy and Tommy selling turnips for 999 anything is possible. People are already making trees that can sprout trees and wishing star pieces.

Not saying it’s justified, but I’m guessing it’s so younger kids can understand what Blathers is saying. But at the same time, I also agree with you. I personally love when video games have educational value, and I feel like a lot of it had been taken out of the game because they thought people wouldn’t care.
999 bells turnip price? What? Were people actually able to /hackdo this? First, I thought those star trees was just a jk but then people posted about them here in the forum wow.
